Role of Seniority in Layoffs (a) Both parties recognize that job security shall increase in proportion to length of service. Therefore, in the event of a layoff, employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of their bargaining-unit-wide seniority, providing that the retained employees are able to perform the available work.
LAY-OFF AND RECALL In the event of a proposed layoff of a permanent or long-term nature, the Home will provide the Union with at least six (6) weeks’ notice. This notice is not in addition to required notice for individual employees. In the event of a layoff of a permanent or long-term nature, the Home will provide affected employees with notice in accordance with the Employment Standards Act. However, the Employment Standards will be deemed to be amended to provide notice to the affected employee as follows: if her service is greater than nine (9) years – nine (9) weeks’ notice if her service is greater than ten (10) years – ten (10) weeks’ notice if her service is greater than eleven (11) years – eleven (11) weeks’ notice if her service is greater than twelve (12) years – twelve (12) weeks’ notice
SENIORITY AND REDUCTION IN FORCE Section 1. Whenever a classified position is abolished, or a reduction in force becomes necessary, or an employee is laid off to create a vacancy for an employee moving from a higher classification, layoff shall be in reverse order of continuous service with the City.
